My Santiago

High up over the city,

With views of skyline and cathedral;

The city pulsing,

-

Sound, music, energy, life -

From every pore.

After dinner,

At the Casa of the 3 Annas,

Some walk into the centre and find a Salsa bar.

There we sip Pino Coladas

and are entranced by Perla del Son,

a 6-piece band of vibrant Latin women,

Belting out loud earthy songs,

With Earth mother voices,

Into the loud earthy sensual Santiago night…

Santiago at night!
